We only stayed one night at the Country Inn and Suites, but were impressed by the friendliness of the staff, the look of the hotel and rooms and the great price. The warm cookies at the front desk were a nice touch. The breakfast was good. The rooms were clean and attractive and it was only a short walk to the French Quarter and other attractions.The only complaint we had was the $24.00 valet parking and the dumpster pick up at 4:00 am in the alley outside our window. The noise from the truck emptying the dumpster wasn't terrible, but it did wake me, also perhaps because I was expecting it after reading another review of this hotel. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again if we're ever back in New Orleans.

We stayed at the Country Inn & Suites for three days in mid June. Someone recently wrote a review that this hotel was not a #1 in New Orleans. I highly disagree. True, the hotel does not have all the flash as some higher priced upper crust hotels, but it is the people that make the difference. The staff are so friendly and ready to assist in any way possible. The GM is always visible making sure the hotel looks nice and that all is in order. And anyway, these are old historic buildings that they converted so nicely. Since they are historic, they were limited in how much they could change and they did it so nicely. The breakfast was great and had so much variety. We loved the coffee variety. True, the breakfast room gets crowded, but it is free, lots of options, and really sometimes people are too greedy.

I would definately rank them a #1 and stay there everytime I go to new orleans!

Stayed one night on a business trip at the Country Inn & Suites near the French Quarter. A really neat hotel. Renovated from historic buildings, you can still see the old structures that are weaved into this new hotel. My room had 12'+ ceiling height and the walls were thick block walls. The lobby shows the old beams from the warehouses that used to occupy the site.

The staff was friendly and efficient. The bartender was a great host.

My party walked several blocks to Emeril's restaurant to eat dinner (excellent place to eat). The area was safe. We didn't venture into the heart of the French Quarter but it wasn't that far to walk.

I would definitely stay at this hotel again in I return to New Orleans.

We stayed here for three nights and really enjoyed our visit. The location was wonderful, as it was an easy walk to the French Quarter. Or, you can take the trolley by the aquarium (a really easy walk) and ride to the end of the line, which lets you off at the French Market.

Our room had two queen beds and a sofa sleeper in the living room, and all were comfortable. Our room faced the street, so it was a little noisy, but I imagine rooms in the back were quieter.

The breakfast was really handy, although I have to wonder why they bunched up all the food on one table instead of making a longer "buffet" style breakfast. Or else they could've placed different types of food on various tables around the room, so guests could get what they wanted without having to stand in the massive line for waffles. There were several youth groups there, and it took quite awhile to get through the line. The food was good, though.

The downside is the $24/day for valet parking, but since we only paid $98/night, we can't complain too much. We also used the washer and dryer, which were ancient and took forever.

We would definitely stay here again -- it was a great experience.
